Today is a rainy day here in Milan and I though that it could be a good idea to talk about the opportunities that travellers may have when they land in the end destination and the weather forecast do not promise anything good.
Some time ago I ended up to Istanbul and it was ice cold, rainy and nearly snowing.
All my plans to visit the town kind of got frozen, me included.
Istanbul actually offers a lot to a visitor even in a rainy period. I enjoyed hammam daily. It took those 3 hours to warm me up, and visit a nice tea room afterwords.
In those few hours of not raining I visited Santa Sophia, and crossed over the river to visit Turkish Asian part.
Rainy days actually are to take as an opportunity to slow down. Many cities offer thermal or beauty spas that are usually located in fancy hotels. I think it's money spent wisely. If you are travelling with your lifetime companion then it can turn out as romantic experiment. Imagine, you two in a beauty centre with several special treatments. If nothing else, you shall remember how enjoyable it was. And then to visit the city itself just book another trip.
I know, it is not affordable to everyone to visit Paris many times, if it rains each time you go there. Perhaps it is also a sign: you were not to spend stressful time visiting places and attractions together that someone you are travelling with.
If you are going to spend more than three days and it keeps raining, the options of indoor fun start to diminish. But then again, take a visit to a local hairdresser. It takes one hour out of rain. Visit the local malls. Again an hour or two hour out of the rain and you don't have to buy anything at all. Museums are good hiding places from a rainy wether. And if you are a fanatic football fun, many cities offers bars or pubs where to watch local football games if not international ones.
Although it rained 3 days during my visit to Lisbon, it didn't matter a lot. We took the bus tour anyway and spent a lots of time eating local food in restaurants. Lisbon has a culture for fado singing and one evening we went to see the local artist in a restaurant.
What would you do in a rainy day?

When heavy rainfall took place we found ourselves in a mall.
